Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Men and women \> 18 years old.
  • Patients must be able to understand and be willing to sign a written informed consent document.
  • Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other trial procedures.
  • Eligible patients must have one of the histologically confirmed cancers and treatment history as described:
  • Chordoma
  • Symptomatic, unresectable, locally recurrent, or metastatic tumors are acceptable for enrollment, given that this represents incurable disease.
  • Only curative interventions are required as prior therapy (surgery or definitive radiation) as no known systemic therapies have proven benefit.
  • Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
  • Metastatic or incurable locally advanced.
  • Disease progression after indicated targeted therapy (EGFR-mut, ALK-fusion, BRAF-mut).
  • Disease progression after one regimen of chemotherapy and anti-PD-1/L1 therapy either sequentially or concurrently.
  • Small Cell Lung Cancer
  • Metastatic disease.
  • Disease progression after 1st line chemotherapy.
  • Breast
  • Metastatic disease considered to be incurable.
  • Triple negative - disease progression after first line chemotherapy.
  • ER+ disease - must have had disease progression through at least 2 lines of hormonal therapy and at least 1 chemotherapy regimen.
  • Her2+ disease - must have had disease progression after at least 2 Her2-targeted therapy containing regimens.
  • ER+ and Her2+ - must meet requirements of each tumor marker subtype (see above).
  • Ovarian
  • Metastatic disease.
  • Disease progression after treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy.
  • Prostate
  • Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) AND
  • Disease progression after at least one line of treatment of abiraterone or enzalutamide and docetaxel.
  • Colorectal
  • Metastatic disease.
  • Must have received chemotherapy regimens containing 5-FU, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, and EGFR-targeted antibodies when indicated (absence of RAS mutation) with evidence of disease progression or AEs that preclude further treatment with standard therapies.
  • Pancreatic
  • Metastatic disease.
  • Disease progression after or intolerance to standard chemotherapy regimens of known benefit (FOLFIRINOX or Gemcitabine and Abraxane).
  • Hepatocellular
  • Incurable disease: liver only or metastatic.
  • Disease progression after at least one systemic therapy of known benefit (e.g. sorafenib).
  • Bladder
  • Metastatic disease.
  • At least one line of chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors second line.
  • Kidney
  • Metastatic disease.
  • After VEGF inhibitors, immune check-point inhibitors, m-TOR inhibitors.
  • Patients must have measurable or evaluable disease. Measurable disease is defined by RECIST 1.1. In the case of evaluable disease, patients should have cancer-related symptoms to justify risk.
  • Evaluable disease is defined as any of the following:
  • Elevated serum tumor marker known to be related to the patient's tumor.
  • Clear radiographic or physical exam evidence of tumor which does not meet RECIST 1.1 measurement requirements.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1.
  • Patients must have normal organ and bone marrow function as defined below:
  • Renal function:
  • Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) OR creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥ 40 mL/min (if using the Cockcroft-Gault formula below):
  • Female CrCl = \[(140 - age in years) x weight in kg x 0.85\] / \[72 x serum creatinine in mg/dL\]
  • Male CrCl = \[(140 - age in years) x weight in kg x 1.00\] / \[72 x serum creatinine in mg/dL\]
  • Liver function:
  • Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) and Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3 x the ULN.
  • Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN (in subjects with Gilbert's syndrome a total bilirubin ≤ 3.0 x ULN), or \< 5 x ULN, if liver metastases are present.
  • Hematological parameters (within one week of starting therapy):
  • Hemoglobin \> 9 g/dL.
  • Platelet count ≥ 100,000/µL.
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1/ µL.
  • Troponin I within normal limits.
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG) without clinically significant findings.
  • Any prior chemotherapy, immunotherapy and/or radiation must be completed at least 4 weeks prior to the first planned dose of MVA-BN-Brachyury vaccine, with the following exceptions, assuming any toxicity related to these therapies is well controlled or resolved and the patient has been on that therapy for at least 8 weeks at the time of enrollment:
  • Prostate cancer - patients must continue to receive Gonadotropin-Releasing-Hormone (GnRH) agonist or antagonist therapy (unless orchiectomy has been done). Patients on abiraterone or enzalutamide may continue those therapies.
  • Breast cancer - patients may remain on hormonal therapy if indicated (Estrogen Receptor/Progesterone Receptor positive \[ER/PR+\]).
  • A minimum of 6 weeks from any prior antibody therapies (such as ipilimumab or anti-Programmed Death 1/Programmed Death Ligand 1\[PD1/PD-L1\]) is required due to prolonged half-life.
  • Patients must have recovered (grade 1 or baseline) from any clinically significant toxicity associated with prior therapy.
  • Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 48 hours prior to administration of MVA-BN-Brachyury vaccine. Both men and women must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) through the trial treatment period and for at least three months after the last vaccination with MVA-BN-Brachyury vaccine.

Exclusion

  • Receipt of an investigational agent within 28 days of the first planned dose of MVA-BN-Brachyury vaccine.
  • Concurrent chemotherapy or radiotherapy or other immunotherapy not explicitly allowed by inclusion criteria for this trial.
  • Known metastatic disease to the central nervous system, unless previously treated and well controlled for at least 3 months (clinically stable, no edema, no steroid treatment required).
  • History of anaphylaxis or severe allergic reaction to any vaccine, aminoglycoside antibiotics or egg products.
  • Active infection within 72 hours prior to vaccination.
  • Administration of antibiotics within 7 days prior to initial vaccination.
  • Subjects having known evidence of being immunocompromised as listed below:
  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positivity, active chronic hepatitis infection, including B and C.
  • Active, known or suspected autoimmune disease. Subjects with vitiligo, type I diabetes mellitus, residual hypothyroidism due to autoimmune condition only requiring hormone replacement, and psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment are permitted.
  • Immunosuppressive therapy for post-organ transplant.
  • Chronic administration (defined as \> 5 consecutive days of \> 15 mg of prednisone (or equivalent) per day) of systemic corticosteroids within 14 days of the first planned dose of MVA-BN-Brachyury vaccine. Use of inhaled steroids, nasal sprays, eye drops, and topical creams is allowed. Steroids premedication for CT scans is allowed.
  • Vaccinations or planned vaccinations with a live vaccine within 30 days prior to the trial vaccination or with an inactivated vaccine within 14 days prior to the trial vaccination.
  • Patients with history of myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, history of or existing CHF (NYHA Class II -IV), other cardiomyopathy, cardiac arrhythmia requiring medical treatment, clinically significant cardiac valvular disease, poorly controlled hypertension and hemodynamic effective pericardial effusion.
  • Known history of, or any evidence of active, non-infectious pneumonitis or primary pulmonary fibrosis.
  • Psychiatric illness/social situations that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would limit compliance with trial requirements.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
  • Any other condition, which in the opinion of the Investigator, would indicate the subject is a poor candidate for treatment with MVA-BN-Brachyury vaccine or would interfere with the evaluation of the trial endpoints.
